Hopefully other chains won’t be so spineless. I take it you know what the protesters were chanting. Muslims of one sect chanting in the crudest terms about Muslims of another sect. But hey ho, just give in to their sensibilities. I await the pile on. | |||

Do you think that everyone who wanted this film banning is a ‘violent, intolerant , extremist’ ??" You just seem to be very questioning of anyone that didn’t like this clear injustice of freedom. This is a known violent minority that gather outside and chant, intending to intimidate. These are the same people that forced that teacher into hiding, whose life has been ruined to this day. That’s why the cinema folded, because they are a known violent minority that show up to intimidate and cause issues. Obviously you can understand, all you comments and questions so far seem to be in defence of them. With the attitude of “if you didn’t want to watch the film who cares?”. It’s an odd stance to take. I don’t care for details. All I see is a violent minority forcing their view and agenda on supposedly free people and businesses. Hopefully it will be properly investigated, but as we have seen. Not only is the police force quite inept at the moment, they also seem to turn a blind eye to these kind of things. Much like they did with the huge grooming and sex trafficking operations the last few past years | |||

"Also to add, your questioning is very odd. Your last question “ Do you think that everyone who wanted this film banning is a ‘violent, intolerant , extremist’ ??” In every single one of my comments I’ve mentioned then as a small minority of extremists. This makes me think your just not reading what I put. Your playing devils advocate and actually don’t have a true point you stand on. I dunno what that’s called. Strawman? Gaslighting? I’m not sure, but it’s pretty evident from every one of my replies I don’t believe everyone that wants the film banned is a violent intolerant extremist Why did you ask? " ‘Why am I not surprised which religion it was that protested with threats of violence to get something they didn’t like removed’ This is what you stated on your first post on here, I don’t need to say anything else , | |||

"Well I can see it’s going no where, so at least we can agree that this type of stuff shouldn’t be happening. Dunno what your other points are, or if you had any, or if your just playing devils advocate But I think it’s fair to say everyone agrees that violence to push an agenda doesn’t belong in the UK " ‘Why am I not surprised which religion it was that protested with threats of violence to get something they didn’t like removed’ Your words, it is fair to say everyone can see where your coming from here . | |||

"So they have now bowed to protests and pulled the movie from all uk theatres. So much for what they call a tolerant religion It is a free country , they are a Private company , they can do what they want No they have not done what they wanted they have been forced to by radicles Did you want to watch the film at Cineworld? Or are you just looking for things to get angry/annoyed about? I would go to watch it why would I not? I will probably watch it when it comes out on digital media. So you had no plans to watch it Cineworld? That is not the point why would I not have ? Do you get angry every time a film is banned by a cinema chain or is it just this one ? " Who said I was angry ? That’s just your supposition. I was just starting a conversation on the subject that was in the news | |||

"So they have now bowed to protests and pulled the movie from all uk theatres. So much for what they call a tolerant religion " Would it not have been easier and fairer for the cinema to have shown the movie as planned but put out a warning about how the content may be offensive to certain religions. That way anyone that wants to see it can and those that find it offensive don't have to watch it | |||

It's not my job to set any precedents for this country, whether good or bad, and it isn't me who banned it. The cinema chains are protecting their staff who are being threatened by mobs. In not one of the pictures I've seen online of these protests is there a police officer visible. Who will protect the staff? If your kid was a minimum wage cinema usher faced with this, what would you advise them to do? Sometimes you've just got to cut your losses. Remember Charlie Hebdo? | |||

They can use their rights in whatever the way they want. As a country, that's the last thing we need to focus on. The main focus should be on why this group that takes offense at everything gets away with getting what they want with threats of violence. To be honest, I am not surprised that most liberals are resorting to victim blaming because the perpetrators here belong to a religion they love." Lol me liberal. I’m debating. Who is the “group” you refer to? | |||

"Have been a Cineworld unlimited card holder for a year. Cancelling it tomorrow. I am curious to know what the cowards who call themselves liberals these days have to say about this matter. I bet they will come up with an excuse for this. Also, where is the guy who questioned why Islamic immigrants were not treated the same way as Ukrainian immigrants? Here is the answer for you." You shite stirring again. You mate om that other thread. You both need to meet up and have a wee cuddle. Bless. | |||

"Depicting the prophet or his family is asking for these type of problems.

"In not one of the pictures I've seen online of these protests is there a police officer visible." Could that be because no death threats were made, and no violence occurred, and that Cineworld are just trying to get some free publicity after dropping a film that no one was watching? | |||

"In the UK, protests and petitions are normal right? Companies and organisations reacting to it is normal as well. I read through this about violence and threats but none of this has been reported in the UK. Seems like people want to pedal the violent Muslim agenda" All reports claim that the staff were intimidated. I don't think there is an agenda. You just have to look at number of stand up comedians and teachers who need police protection because they made a joke or a drawing that offended some people. | |||

"Is there any specific reporting on the violence etc? I can find verbal attacks .... But that can be a lot of things. To be clear I condem threats of violence. I am uncomfortable with censorship being dictated by a few. I ask because the language in the thread isn't quite the same as the details being released. (I did Google BBC violence Cineworld.... Anyone heard of blue story ?)" Blue story I remember that one attack in one cinema unrelated to the film. Cineworld drop it quickly. Is this a breach of free speech? | |||

"Do you think it’s ok the burn the Union Jack because people think a flag is silly ? " Judging from the number of upside-down flags that I've seen over the past few days, very few people have any respect for the flag.

I was poking fun at the other person for saying it's okay to poke fun at people. Because they're notoriously sensitive about being a Brexit supporter. I'm well aware this issue has nothing to do with partygate or brexit. I have no idea what you think my agenda is, or why you're so annoyed about what it is that you imagine my agenda to be.

"So they have now bowed to protests and pulled the movie from all uk theatres. So much for what they call a tolerant religion " Protest is fine. Nobody should expect to have the film banned though. Cineworld's decision to screen or no, but it is cleared by the BBFC, who apply the actual criteria for certification. Threat's of violence not acceptable. If in person then police should have been involved immediately. Also if communicated. Were they credible threat's or a convenient pretext? Would they have done the same thing if this happened with a blockbuster rather than a film likely to have a small audience? The irony is that this film will now have a vastly broader viewership, so the militancy will be self-defeating | |||

"Here's a quote from one of those "certain" news sources:- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cineworld-prophet-muhammad-fatima-lady-of-heaven-b2096633.html" Death threats are different imo to the protests. They should be taken seriously and prosecuted. | |||

"Here's a quote from one of those "certain" news sources:- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cineworld-prophet-muhammad-fatima-lady-of-heaven-b2096633.html" That article says that the producer of the film has received death threats. It also quotes him as saying "I don’t worry about it – it’s just empty threats". There are no claims of any threats made to Cineworld, just a statement that "Cineworld said it feared for the safety of its workers". If that article is accurate, there were no threats and no violence at the Cineworld protests. | |||

" Yes you are right about past history but I'm talking here and now, there have been several attacks on jews in London and very vicious but they don't make the headlines, but if it's a white guy called john smith then obviously it will be headline news and will be forever talked about. | |||

"Here's a quote from one of those "certain" news sources:- https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cineworld-prophet-muhammad-fatima-lady-of-heaven-b2096633.html That article says that the producer of the film has received death threats. It also quotes him as saying "I don’t worry about it – it’s just empty threats". There are no claims of any threats made to Cineworld, just a statement that "Cineworld said it feared for the safety of its workers". If that article is accurate, there were no threats and no violence at the Cineworld protests." Ah, because the producer doesn't take the death threats seriously, they don't matter? Alright mate, good one. The article also says "“Due to recent incidents related to screenings of ‘The Lady of Heaven’, we have made the decision to cancel upcoming screenings of the film nationwide to ensure the safety of our staff and customers.” So, do you think they're just making up these "incidents"? It's probably just because they're all racist brexiters innit eh? | |||

No, they don't matter to this discussion because we're talking about protests outside Cineworld cinemas. Death threats received by the producer have nothing to do with Cineworld's decision. "The article also says "“Due to recent incidents related to screenings of ‘The Lady of Heaven’, we have made the decision to cancel upcoming screenings of the film nationwide to ensure the safety of our staff and customers.” So, do you think they're just making up these "incidents"?" If there were any 'incidents', the writer of the article has been remarkably lax in failing to mention them. It's almost as if he just read the press release and didn't actually do any investigation. | |||

"Protests can turn violent. One could imagine an imposing faction turning up for their own protest Therefore Cineworld could have put out that statement even if there were no threats of violence at the time. There are some leaps being made without much evidence. It doesn't mean it didn't happen (to cover myself if vids do appear) but as yet .. its unfounded imo Exactly, we know why ‘certain’ people and ‘certain’ news papers have jumped all over this, if there have been threats isn’t it right that they jump all over this tho ? Or should we talk about burning flags and booing at a match Show me evidence of any threats, Some people have a predisposition to look for an excuse to hate on certain minority groups. I wish they’d just admit to it . " Dare they admit openly. Rather tip toe in the darker shadows. | |||

"It was in the Independent. They're not famous for accuracy, truth or for properly researching their articles." So why did you post it if you thought it was of poor quality? And why have you been defending it? | |||

"It was in the Independent. They're not famous for accuracy, truth or for properly researching their articles." So why did you post it if you thought it was of poor quality? And why have you been defending it?" To be honest, it was the first of many articles of many I found. Also, had I quoted the daily mail, the usual morons would just waste space arguing the toss about the source, not the story. It happens on here a lot | |||
